$3.4bn of altcoins could be starting to see some selling pressure
In an April filing, FTX said it held $3.4bn in crypto assets. In last week’s filing, FTX indicated its willingness to sell $200m of crypto assets per week as the company wants to return fiat instead of crypto to its users. This means FTX will continue to sell assets until the end of 2023.

Solo miner bags entire block reward with just 1PH of power
An astoundingly lucky solo miner solved block number 803,821 late Friday night and won the entire 6.25 bitcoin block reward, worth approximately $162,000.
Con Kolivas, the admin of Solo CKPool, announced the unlikely news on X, formerly Twitter, saying that this particular miner had only 1 petahash of computing power, yet still came out on top. “A miner of this size would only solve a block solo on average once every 7 years at current [difficulty],” Kolivas wrote. The miner kept nearly all the bitcoin (BTC) he won, aside from a 2% fee that went to Solo CKPool for its upkeep.
